Yet again we have a case of an episode post lagging the recording by a week... I have plenty of reasons but again I apologize. Maybe I should take a pay cut...

It turns out that folks didn't really disagree with the premise of this episode, that more and more of the American public are starting to see through the cracks at what's really going on in Washington.

There is so much media coverage about the failing health care websites and continued shutdown that we're going to be looking at other things in this episode. We're looking deeper, past the posturing and endless press conferences at some of the signs that the government is starting to crack.

Be sure, there are those stalwarts that will stick to their… positions. There are also articles that are coming out showing very disturbing events that, if done by anyone else, would generate calls for termination if not prison time. Their façade is starting to crack all over the place and even their usual cheerleaders can't patch everything up.
Articles for this episode:

Those that watch our Twitter feed at ECConservative will notice that not all of the articles tweeted over the past week are showing up here this time. We had something of a "twittersplosion" and the articles below are the more relevant (or less repetitive) of the activity.

We had a fun time talking about what people thought they knew… on a variety of different issues. In most of the cases the concensus was that the people involved didn't think much beyond the "good idea".

One thing I mentioned in the intro that I want to reiterate here in text. That is your opportunity to be a part of the podcast. We don't care where you are or your "stated political leanings" so long as you're willing to join in the conversation and keep things civil. Our podcast isn't strictly about the East Coast, nor does everyone that participates have to be a conservative! If you feel you've got something to add and can verbalize it well, feel free to call in.

Also, please be sure to visit our sponsor! You can get a free 30 day trial at Audible.com as well as a free audiobook by going to http://www.audibletrial.com/eastcoastconservative and signing up. The recommended book for this week is "Sh-t My Dad Says" by Justin Halpern. It's an interesting look and a reminder to delve beyond the gruff exterior of people around us. Despite what Joesf says in the recording, we're not sponsored by Rosetta Stone... as funny as the bit was!

I have long thought that most government actions, especially when it comes to domestic policy, start with a nugget of good will or a good idea and then becomes corrupted as it makes its way through the system. In this episode we're going to be examining the actions that could cause such changes to happen to a good idea as to make them profoundly bad.

You can join the conversation every Sunday night at 8:30pm and now if you want to help suggest articles, comment or just chat you can join us on Twitter at @ECConservative. If you want to comment on any of the articles, please feel free to start a discussion here, or email them to conservativepodcast@gmail.com. Join us for the recording session, normally live at 8:30pm Eastern time by visitinghttp://www.talkshoe.com/tc/75570.

When the show notes get put together for an episode, normally there is a common theme. This time it's more of a common phrase applied. Tonight we've got a number of items to discuss that cover a wide range of topics.

Here are the articles, like I said, the subject range is pretty broad tonight!

Sunday, September 4, 2011

This was a fun episode to record and, as has been the case lately, we didn't get through all of the articles! There's a lot to discuss beyond the items we managed to cover here. Be sure to check out the show notes for the articles and video we reference in the show.

Two links I mentioned that I'd add when I posted the show; first was for an article written by one of our listeners and posted here in October of last year entitled The Tipping Point. The second was for a sci-fi short I recently listed to over on EscapePod, entitled Union Dues – Sidekicks in Stockholm which I listened to and then heard about the September 17 stuff.

Listen to our show and many other great conservative podcasts, streamed 24/7 on the Red State Talk Radio Network. Visit their site at http://www.redstatetalkradio.com. You can also find the show on Stitcher radio, a new mobile-only service for the iThings and Android. Learn more at stitcher.com.

Please be sure to participate in our t-shirt poll to let us know what kind of interest there would be. Email comments to conservativepodcast@gmail.com or post them on the site. If you like what you heard, blog about us and tell five friends! Better yet, visit our Facebook page and follow the show there! If you didn't like the show, we invite you to come back next week for different words in a different order.

We often hear the President referred to as a, "community organizer." Unfortunately, I think he may have lost his skills in the organization department long ago, as the articles we have on tap for this episode point out a large amount of confusion and discontent, even within his own power base.

Also, you may notice a poll on the right-hand sidebar of the site. We're looking at a new way to create high-quality silk-screened t-shirts at an affordable cost. It's my own opinion that the shirt designs may sell better if we don't rely on an outside service for the production and delivery. Unfortunately for that to work we need to know what kind of demand we have from our listeners. Please take a moment to answer the poll before it closes on 9/19 so we can get a good idea of what folks want. Thanks!

In this weekend's show we are joined Bob and Brandon, hosts of the Laid Off Podcast. For the subject, we've got some interesting Marijuana stories as well as a recap of the President's visit to Buffalo and where the elections seem to be headed.

This was a really fun show tonight! We actually had to drop the articles that we had about Buffalo and the Kagan nomination to stay close to our time limit. We also had a lot of interaction with the folks in SecondLife as well as in the Talkshoe chat room.

As I say in the podcast, if you like the show, blog about us and tell four friends and blog about us! If you didn't like tonight's show, we invite you back next week (or in this case, for the next episode) where you will hear different words in a different order. Thanks for listening!

Tonight's show is going to have to center on a few things that we've talked about before but have to be touched on again. First off, some updates to things that we've talked about before. Also, the events of this past week cannot go without some discussion. We've been called an angry mob and been asked to snitch on our neighbors... and still people don't see the actions of the administration as dangerous. This episode is being released unedited - there are some distractions and one restart but to be honest that's one of the things you have to deal with when recording "live". Maybe it's part of that raw, angry mob mentality but I'm going to leave it in this week. We now have a discussion forum at RepublicanOperative.com thatyou can access it by going to http://www.republicanoperative.com/forums/ecc-podcast-episodes/. Also, our facebook page is up and running and of course we have our store at Printfection.com/eccstuff. Thank you for your continued support and participation with the show. We also have a voice comment line! You can use the "Call Me" button to leave a voice comment at any time. Articles discussed in tonight's show:

I had to start the show tonight with a comment that I received via IM - that a friend of mine is getting more and more hostile when it comes to politics and where the Democrats are taking this country.

My comment to her, and in general, is that while Thomas Jefferson did say "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical", he was also talking in a time when people did not have the right to express themselves. As with war and taxes, the way we must conduct ourselves in the return to Conservative principles must be thought about carefully.

Tonight we paid special attention to the statement of Eric Holder, who called the American people "cowards" when it came to race issues. Ken and I discussed his comments and the absurdity of them at length. In addition we brought in the comments of Lawernce Fishbourne from The View to get another interesting take on the comments and the "state of the races" as he saw them. After that spirited conversation we decided to mention the slipping memory of Senator Burris, who admitted that he did try to raise money for Blagojevich and that now he's done with the media. Ken's only reaction to this - it's Chicago politics, why are people surprised? Finally we did have time to talk for a few minutes about the Mortgage Bailiout and try to understand the what's and why's of this plan.

We had to mention the 4 minute rant by Rick Santelli and talk about the concept of what the bill is proposing and how the "group A" foreclosures are affecting the "group B" home values. In order to close on a good note, the home owners in the neighborhood affected by the crash of flight 3407 are going to be allowed back into their homes soon. Also, the people in charge of the mainly volunteer recovery effort have been approached by organizations asking how they were able to so effectively organize resources! Thanks to all who joined in and listened in! If you want to send comments, please email them to conservativepodcast@gmail.com or post them on the web site.

Lots of visitors tonight, including Jim from FreedomFighterRadio.net and a number of folks in the newly opened Second Life theater. Be sure to check out their shows! We welcome anyone to join us for the recording session which happens every Sunday night at 8:30pm EST. You can get more details at our Talkcast page. Want to help out with the show? We're looking for people to "introduce" the show for us... either live during the recording or pre-recorded. If you're interested in helping out, email us at conservativepodcast@gmail.com. Also email if you're interested in East Coast Conservative Podcast products. Links for the articles discussed in tonight's snow:

A quote I found particularly important from McCain's speech:"If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you're disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist in our Armed Forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed. Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself." - Sen. John McCain

She had a few stingers to deliver, here were my favorites: "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities."
"We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco."
"And there is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate." - Gov. Sarah Palin

We thank everyone for listening and downloading the show! If you like what you heard, tell three friends! If you don't, make sure to come back next week where we'll have different words in a different order!
